Decks: common questions

Wood or composite?

Wood usually costs less up front, while composite needs less upkeep. Ask the pro to price both for your size.

Can an old deck be saved?

Sometimes. A pro can check the framing and ledger before you decide between resurfacing and rebuilding.

Do decks need permits?

Often, depending on height and your city. Ask the pro and check with your city.
